7.6.2.Add a New Member to Replication Group

In this task, you add a third server to the Data Distribution replication group and specify where one of the two replicated folders, Antivirus Signatures, will be stored on the new member. You'll use a new feature in DFS Replication to specify that the LOB Data replicated folder is not replicated to the new member. You also will create a custom schedule that applies only to the connections to and from the new member.

IMPORTANT

Replication does not begin immediately on the new member. The DFS Replication settings for the new member must be replicated to all domain controllers, and each member in the replication group must poll its closest domain controller to obtain these settings. The amount of time this takes depends on Active Directory replication latency, the short polling interval (5 minutes) on the new member, and the long polling interval (60 minutes) on existing members.

To add a new member to the Data Distribution replication group:

1.In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, right-click the Data Distribution replication group, and then click New Member.

2.Follow the steps in the New Member Wizard and supply the information in the following fields.

oNew Member - Enter the name of the server to add to the replication group. The server must have the DFS Replication Service installed.

oLocal Path of Replicated Folders - Select the Antivirus Signatures replicated folder, click Edit, click Enabled, and then enter the local path of the replicated folder to be created on the new member. When you close the Edit Local Path dialog box, notice that the LOB Data replicated folder shows <Disabled>, which means that this replicated folder will not be replicated to the new member. Because you only want the Antivirus Signatures folder to be replicated to the new member, you can ignore the warning message that appears.

oConnections - Under Available members, click a member, and then click Add. Repeat this step to add the second member. The new member will replicate directly with both existing members.

o Replication Schedule - Select Custom connection schedule, and then click Edit Schedule. In the Edit Schedule dialog box, click Details to expand the schedule, and then select the entry that begins Sunday 12:00 AM and then click Edit. In the Edit Schedule dialog box, under Bandwidth usage, click 128 Mbps.

oReview Settings and Create Member - Click Create to add the new member to the Data Distribution replication group.
